Nancy,
Not everyone has extreme side effects on the higher dose, think
positive that you'll be one of those lucky ones. { : o )
Rule of thumb is don't lay down for at least the first two hours of
taking the medicine. I agree with the others, split it out in two
400mg doses, drink lots of water all day and take it with a heavy
meal. Any kind of exercise you can get in each day will also help
with the fatigue.
